Did you pass a customer?

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

From where we need to pass the customer?

fresh ledge Sep 15, 2023, 2:43 PM

#

You don't necessarily need to, but here https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer

Stripe API reference – Create a Checkout Session – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

Recommend reading that description to understand

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 2:44 PM

#

But int the response I can see "customer": null,

fresh ledge Sep 15, 2023, 2:44 PM

#

Did you read above

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

I read it but I am getting any clue and solution of getting the customer . The customer field should have an ID

fresh ledge Sep 15, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

Can you share the request id for creating the session then

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

where do I get the session id

fresh ledge Sep 15, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

Starts with cs_

#

You're looking at the session object right now to see customer is null right?

#

It should be at the top of that

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 3:09 PM

#

okay let me check

#

Oh this is a payment link session

#

You have customer_creation set to if_required on the payment link

#

You need to set it to always

#

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 3:17 PM

#

Where can I set it always , because I have created the payment link from my dashboard and use it in the frontend just

#

or shall I need to call this function when triggering in the payment button from the UI

fresh ledge Sep 15, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

Hm it doesn't look like you can set this via the dashboard

#

But you should be able to use this update endpoint via the api to modify that payment link to always create a customer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/update#update_payment_link-customer_creation

Got the point thank you

#

let me try it out

stripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_Zb7JOoIJvEDJ7Y: No such payment link: 'https://buy.stripe.com/test_7sI6oo1R60u77e0144'

#

encountered this error

#

when trying to call the api for so that every time create a new customer

Hi 👋

The URL used in this request was /v1/payment_links/https%3A%2F%2Fbuy.stripe.com%2Ftest_7sI6oo1R60u77e0144. Can you log the URL before making the request?

def modify_payment_link(self):
        try:
            stripe.PaymentLink.modify(
                "https://buy.stripe.com/test_7sI6oo1R60u77e0144",

            print(f"Stripe Error: {e}")
            return wrap_response({'error': e}, 500)

#

This is hard coded

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

Well that's clearly wrong. To modify the Payment Link using the Stripe client library you need to pass the ID of the Payment Link. It will start with plink_ like we show in our API reference docs https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/update

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 3:58 PM

#


def modify_payment_link(self):
        try:
            stripe.PaymentLink.modify(
                "plink_1NqeLUGfBsqAl5dJvyhq2fYj",
                active=False,
            )
            return wrap_response({'message': 'Updated'}, 200)

        except stripe.error.StripeError as e:
            # Handle any Stripe API errors here
            print(f"Stripe Error: {e}")
            return wrap_response({'error': e}, 500)

stripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_yZIx6pBcNBn40H: No such payment link: 'plink_1NqeLUGfBsqAl5dJvyhq2fYj'

#

From the documentation this is generated based on my api key so I think it should be correct. Is there a way to get this plink from my dashboard

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

If you go to your Stripe Dashboard you can drop the ID in the top search bar. However I don't see a payment link with that ID on my end either

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

Yes I am not getting any result

#

what shall I do now?

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

Okay and you are sure this Payment Link exists? Do you have the API request that created it?

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

#

Yes I have 2 payment link . I just created one now

#

but why I can't see anything related to that starts with plink_

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

Okay what happens when you select one in particular?

#

Okay they make it hard to find this. I just found my own

#

I went to my list of Payment Links, the clicked on a single row to get to the detail page for that Payment Link. Still no ID. But at the bottonm of the detail page is a link the Request Log where I created the Payment Link. When I clicked on that I can see the API request and response when the Payment Link was created. You can find the actual ID in the Response body

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

Thank you I got it. And called successfully the API

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

Great 🎉

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

Now the customer should be created in each checkout session and will get the customer value in the event response. Is it correct?

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

That depends entirely on how the Payment Link is created. If customer_creation is set to always then it will create a unique customer each time a payment is completed. https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create?lang=python#create_payment_link-customer_creation

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

You can see the first customer is not guest. It has a customer id (cus_OdxEjG7vdib6QA). But when I am pay with this email in the event checkout.session.completed I am still getting the customer properly null

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 5:05 PM

#

Can you share the event ID?

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

evt_3NqfMgGfBsqAl5dJ1gbyx6Kr

leaden walrus Sep 15, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

In the Payment Link this is set : customer_creation: "if_required",

#

That will not create a Customer if it isn't required

dire dagger Sep 15, 2023, 5:17 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/update But I called this api to update it

Stripe API reference – Update a payment link – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#


import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_51NqUYyGfBsqAl5dJCdubKkssjlyHO1lfDULM84LJqkuSQXrlO0RnKmXHDbePQ13KQlrseFgVYAqcdjIKf8BaT20d00zTjMJw1Z"

stripe.PaymentLink.modify(
  "plink_1NqfdkGfBsqAl5dJmTtYvmcm",
  active=False,
)

#

I changed the key values with mine

#

But this call succeeded

#

Let me try again

#

GIve me a min maybe I do I thing wrong
